Which country's PR would you recommend for a looking-to-exit-Canadian looking to a) pay less tax (53% income rate is too high!) & b) face less investing regulation (e.g. Ontario banning access to certain crypto exchanges)? Is there a popular one these days? e.g. paraguay
2. How do you receive equity as remuneration from a US startup and register your ownership of the equity if you do not have H1B and:
2a. if you are an employee of US startup but working from overseas
2b. if you are employed by a US company that gave a visa but also do contractor stuff for a US startup as a side thing
3. Is there a way to start and incorporate a new US company under your name as a main shareholder, if you are currently employed on H1B or H1B1 by an existing company?
3b. Or do you have to start and incorporate a new US company under some other structure?
Hi Peter, I am a co-founder of a startup in the crypto sphere. I want E-2 visa. Is it going to be a problem to confirm the source of my investments if I made them in the crypto market? How to prove the source of investments?
My friend and I, we are on H1B working for big tech. We want to do a startup in US but it would take us 3-4 months to raise funding. In the meantime, can we register the company on our name, pull our H1Bs under it, and start working full-time for the startup?

Possibly. The issue is going to be your ownership and control of the entity which almost certainly will result in a request for evidence. But you can structure the company in a certain way - independent board of directors, etc. - to minimize the chance of an RFE or even a denial.
It looks like H1B1 is non-transferrable to a different company and needs a new application from the beginning.
Hi Peter, thank you for doing this! I am currently on an F-1 visa, waiting to switch to H-1B in January. I have a previous J-1 visa so I'm currently in the process of waiving the two-year-rule. When the waiver is approved, can I file a change of status, or do I have to leave the country to apply for the visa?
Because H1B is only granted in October about 6 months after you apply for it before the April deadline.
